Little Black Classics Box Set: Collectible box 80 Penguin Classics | Timeless Short Stories and Essays from Literary Greats

I started looking for one book and bought the whole box set instead. And I have to say that I am just delighted at the mere sight of this wonderful collection of 80 different types of works of 80 well-known authors. I was a little skeptical because the reviews on Amazon.com, but i must that, my experience has been entirely different. 1. I received properly packed, not-at-all torn from any side box set. 2. The quality of books is great. The size, as apparent from the dimension of independent books, is a little smaller, as justified by the name 'little black classic', than that of the usual Penguin Classics. 3. All books are for keeps. This is one of my best purchases ever. Even though some titles may not interest me right now, I am still looking forward to exploring each one of them, as rest assured, these are all acclaimed works and loved by a variety of people across the world. So, I've attached a few screenshots that give you an idea about 1. How it looks 2. What are the contents 3. The size as compared to a normal Penguin Classic (E.g. Three Men in a Boat. It goes without saying that this book is not a part of the box set and is only used for comparison)

The Penguin Little Black Classics were literally a dream purchase for me, and I finally got them! 🥹 I've already read three of them, but honestly... none have lived up to my expectations yet 😭 I'm still hoping the remaining books will change my mind. That said, I have to mention that every single book arrived in amazing condition, exactly as shown in the pictures.

It's worth your money

Finally got my dream Penguin Classics box set which was gifted to me by my boyfriend The books are beautiful and the print quality is great The collection looks amazing on the shelf The only issue was that the box arrived with damaged edges which was disappointing Thankfully the books inside were fine Overall it is a wonderful set for book lovers but the packaging could have been better 📚✨

Well.. My cup is full and overflowing with love for the collection that stands pretty on my case. I must express my gratitude for the penguins for this fantastic crazy and yet a colorful idea of presenting a microcosm of world literature. Its an awesome collection for any book lover especially a dedicated life long student of literature. The packaging was great and it arrived a day early- amazon signature. I loved the care and love for the books that went into packing and delivering this treasure. The mere sight of this collection induces poetry and reminds me of the worthy pursuits in life. If you are looking to buy- wise thing to do! Go for it and enjoy the pleasure of reading and owning one of the envy inducing collection. Thank you Amazon.

One of my favourite things that I own. It is helpful to improve reading habit. The range of authors is amazing.

5 books are missing from 76,77,78,79,80 now I'm trying to get a replacement and hoping to get all the books next time

I'm very disappointed by the poor choice of the books in the set. It was meant as a collection of timeless short stories but rather it contains erotic and perhaps boring stories.( personal opinion ) I have an peculiar feeling that the publishers wanted to throw away all the unsold books and hence came up with this idea. Except a few works like Gogol, Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, all are very disappointing to me.

Great price. Was after this box set but did not want to fork out the £180.00 on Waterstones got this cheap and all titles included. Very happy with the purchase looks lovely on my shelf with my other classics. Only minor default is the spines don’t match up exactly with the penguin logo but this is a manufacturing thing with all the box sets.

Coleção chegou em ótimo estado e nova. Entrega antes do previsto.

cok iyi

This has 80 tiny books and I don’t recognise most of the titles

Incredible value, curated literary education in a box.
